GMO: 10 Foods you didn't know were Genetically Modified Organisms! Now, you most likely keep an eye on sugar contents and other unhealthy ingredients that you need to eat in moderation, but how many of you watch out for genetically modified foods? Most probably not many of you! For most this won’t be an issue, but if you live in the U.S., there’s a good chance that at least some of your food has been genetically modified. Stay tuned to number 1 to find out which item you thought would be completely natural…is actually genetically modified!
Find out which Monsanto-like biotechs the FDA has approved, and what isn't really organic! This list brought to you by Zero2Hero!

Number 10: Canola.
Developed through conventional plant breeding, Canola was developed by breeding rapeseed, which has been in use for millennia, and was even used as fuel by many ancient civilizations. The first Genetically Modified version was originally bred by University of Manitoba, Canada by Keith Downey and Baldur R. Stefansson during the 1970s. That strain was called Roundup Ready canola, developed to have a tolerance to glyphosate. This was done by introducing two genes, the first called Agrobacterium, which is a common soil bacterium, with a gene from Ochrobactiurm antroi strain LBAA… which honestly won’t mean much to most of us. Surprisingly, a whopping 90% of the U.S canola crop is genetically modified.
Number 9: Potatoes.
Nearly all of us will be familiar with the hardy potato that has been a stable part of diets for thousands of years, but did you know some strains have been genetically modified? The potato was first domesticated in modern-day southern Peru in between 8000 and 5000BCE. It was first introduced to Europe following the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire and since then it has been introduced to all corners of the world. An estimated 382 tons of potatoes were produced in 2014 with the People’s Republic of China producing the most at 95.5 million tons. In recent years genetic researchers have produced several genetically modified varieties of potatoes. The New Leaf potato was genetically modified to resist attacks from the Colorado potato beetle, but was unsuccessful in making a dent in the market so sales were discontinued in 2001.
In more recent years, the USDA approved a modified potato, the Innate potato, which contains genetic modifications that reduced or prevented bruising. Although these have gone into circulation, the Food and Water Watch petitioned McDonald’s, a major consumer of potatoes, to not use the new strain of potato. Thankfully, McDonald’s agreed. So if you eat McDonald’s fries, at least you don’t need to worry about consuming this particular GM food!
Number 8: Eggplant.
Eggplant, also known as aubergine, has been cultivated in southern and eastern Asia since prehistory. Strangely, the plant has also played a role in Italian and Egyptian folklore. In the13th centuryItaly and 19th centuryEgypt, the plant was liked to cause or increased levels of insanity amongst the populace. The genetically modified version of the eggplant is also known as Bt Brinjal, and was created by inserting crystal protein gene taken from bacterium Becillus thuringiensis to make it resistant to pests. It works by enabling the plant to produce a toxin that kills the worms that devastate crops. This strain of the eggplant is only cultivated in Bangladesh, but as it is only a recent phenomenon it is too early to judge its success.
Number 7: Papaya
Papaya is native to Mexico and northern South America, but has since been introduced to Florida, California, Hawaii and other tropical and subtropical regions like India. It turns out that only the female plants are used for cultivation, though, as the male plants provide poorer quality fruit. In 2014 India produce 44% of the world’s total estimated at 12.7 million tons – which is a lot of papaya. But it hasn’t been an easy ride for the plant. Papaya production was hit with a deadly virus that nearly wiped out the entire world crop. The virus, known as papaya ringspot, first hit the crop in Hawaii in the 1940s and within 50 years the virus had spread to nearly every area that grew the crop. Regardless of whether you agree with the GM food industry, if it wasn’t for the Hawaiian born scientist, Dennis Gonsalves, we wouldn’t be able to feast on the delicious fruit today.
His creation, known as the Rainbow papaya, was designed to be resistant to the virus, and has ensured a stable and sustainable income for the people of Hawaii and other places it’s grown. It clear that the genetically modified papaya has helped ensure its continued availability today. So…maybe not all GM foods are bad.

Are GM Foods Killing Us?
Genetically Modified foods are disturbingly commonplace - and we don't always know when we're eating them. With so many dangerous side effects observed in GM foods, and with insufficient testing of the long-term impact of these artificial foods, can we be sure that GM foods are safe?

So in this list, I’ll be showing you 5 Foods That Have Been Genetically ModifiedBeyond Recognition
5) Carrots
Carrots have been around for thousands of years.
In fact, seeds dating back to 5,000 years have been discovered in Europe.
However, originally carrots looked a lot different.
They were small and white rather than very long and orange.
The carrots we have today are known as Western Carrots, however, some other carrots still exist which are most commonly called Eastern Carrots.
These carrots can be smaller in size and also even purple rather than orange.
4) Bananas
Bananas are believed to have been first cultivated around 7-10,000 years ago.
The long yellow bananas most people know are a result of centuries of careful breeding.
They descended from two wild banana species called Musa Acuminata and Musa Balbisiana.
These two banana species don't taste like bananas we have today.
In fact, one has lots of hard seeds in the middle.
However, thousands of years ago banana cultivators discovered that cross-pollinating these two plants produced a sweet, yellow seedless fruit that tasted really good.
This is how modern-day bananas were born.
3) Watermelons
Experts agree that watermelons originated somewhere in Africa and spread to the Mediterranean.
One of the watermelons earliest ancestors was first cultivated in Egypt around 4,000 years ago.
This watermelon was hard, bitter and pale green in colour however they did still contain lots of water.
It believed the watermelon was an excellent source of water for people especially during dry seasons and that's the reason they grew them.
It's also believed it was the Egyptians who began to selectively breed the sweetest and best watermelons over many years which led to the tasty sweet watermelon we have today.
2) Corn
Its believed corn is one of the first crops ever cultivated by humans around 10,000 years ago.
However at that time corn was a lot different to what we have today.
The earliest ancestor of corn that we know of is something called Teosinte.
This plant doesn't look anything like corn today but they did produce kernels which were a lot smaller.
However, on a genetic level, the plants are almost identical.
Over thousands of years of artificial selection, corn has changed massively in its appearance.
This was done by people selecting only the plants that produced the most kernels.
1) PeachesFossils of peaches have been discovered in China that date back over 2.5 million years.
However, these peaches would have been a lot smaller than today and resembled small cherries.
Once again through artificial selection the peaches that were the biggest, and contained the most flesh were chosen.
This led to the peach being much larger with lots of juicy edible flesh.
It's believed it only took about 3,000 years for the peach to turn from a small cherry-like fruit to what it is today.

Why are GMOs bad? They aren’t. They just aren’t, not intrinsically, and certainly not for your health. We’ve been eating them for decades with no ill effects, which makes sense, because a genetically modified organism is simply an organism, like every other organism, produces hundreds of thousands of proteins, but one or two of them are proteins that were chosen specifically by humans.

Genetically modified food

Genetically modified foods or GM foods, also genetically engineered foods, are foods produced from organisms that have had changes introduced into their DNA using the methods of genetic engineering. Genetic engineering techniques allow for the introduction of new traits as well as greater control over traits than previous methods such as selective breeding and mutation breeding.

Commercial sale of genetically modified foods began in 1994, when Calgene first marketed its unsuccessful Flavr Savr delayed-ripening tomato. Most food modifications have primarily focused on cash crops in high demand by farmers such as soybean, corn, canola, and cotton seed oil. Genetically modified crops have been engineered for resistance to pathogens and herbicides and for better nutrient profiles. GM livestock have been developed, although as of November 2013 none were on the market.

There is general scientific agreement that food from genetically modified crops is not inherently riskier to human health than conventional food, but should be tested on a case-by-case basis. However, there are ongoing public concerns related to food safety, regulation, labelling, environmental impact, research methods, and the fact that some GM seeds are subject to intellectual property rights owned by corporations.

Genetic engineering

Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification, is the direct manipulation of an organism's genome using biotechnology. It is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to produce improved or novel organisms. New DNA may be inserted in the host genome by first isolating and copying the genetic material of interest using molecular cloning methods to generate a DNA sequence, or by synthesizing the DNA, and then inserting this construct into the host organism. Genes may be removed, or "knocked out", using a nuclease. Gene targeting is a different technique that uses homologous recombination to change an endogenous gene, and can be used to delete a gene, remove exons, add a gene, or introduce point mutations.

An organism that is generated through genetic engineering is considered to be a genetically modified organism (GMO). The first GMOs were bacteria generated in 1973 and GM mice in 1974. Insulin-producing bacteria were commercialized in 1982 and genetically modified food has been sold since 1994. GloFish, the first GMO designed as a pet, was first sold in the United States in December 2003.

Genetically modified organism

A genetically modified organism (GMO) is any organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques (i.e. genetically engineered organism). GMOs are the source of medicines and genetically modified foods and are also widely used in scientific research and to produce other goods.The term GMO is very close to the technical legal term, 'living modified organism', defined in the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety, which regulates international trade in living GMOs (specifically, "any living organism that possesses a novel combination of genetic material obtained through the use of modern biotechnology").

A more specifically defined type of GMO is a "Transgenic Organism". This is an organism whose genetic makeup has been altered by the addition of genetic material from another, unrelated organism. This should not be confused with the more general way in which "GMO" is used to classify genetically altered organisms, as typically GMOs are organisms whose genetic makeup has been altered without the addition of genetic material from an unrelated organism.

Alex Jones (playwright)

Alex Jones is a British actor, playwright and film maker. He is best known for Noise, a violent play about teenage newlyweds who face neighbourly aggression. Noise is associated with "in-yer-face theatre"' by Aleks Sierz. As an actor, he plays villain Clive Horrobin in The Archers.

1) PeachesFossils of peaches have been discovered in China that date back over 2.5 million years.
However, these peaches would have been a lot smaller than today and resembled small cherries.
Once again through artificial selection the peaches that were the biggest, and contained the most flesh were chosen.
This led to the peach being much larger with lots of juicy edible flesh.
It's believed it only took about 3,000 years for the peach to turn from a small cherry-like fruit to what it is today.

Why are GMOs Bad?

Why are GMOs Bad?

Why are GMOs Bad?

Why are GMOs bad? They aren’t. They just aren’t, not intrinsically, and certainly not for your health. We’ve been eating them for decades with no ill effects, which makes sense, because a genetically modified organism is simply an organism, like every other organism, produces hundreds of thousands of proteins, but one or two of them are proteins that were chosen specifically by humans.

Genetically Modified Food Dangers - Alex Jones

Visithttp://www.survivalfoodkit.com/freesamples for 100% Non Genetically Modified free storable food samples,
http://www.survivalfoodkit.com/Critical-Survival-Items
Other folks around the world are joining arms to refuse GMO foods, so why is the US not doing the same, you have to ask. Most folks in the US are not even aware of the dangers of Genetically Modified Foods. Europe eliminated GMOs from their food supply over 10 years ago.
It's been estimated that around 70 percent of all food items in our grocery stores contain GMO ingredients. For every 10 items that you're putting in your shopping cart, seven of them are dangerous for your health, because they contain GMO. Everyone needs to see this Alex Jones video. The more folks that become aware, the better we have a chance of stopping this, before it's too late.

Are GM Foods Killing Us?
Genetically Modified foods are disturbingly commonplace - and we don't always know when we're eating them. With so many dangerous side effects observed in GM foods, and with insufficient testing of the long-term impact of these artificial foods, can we be sure that GM foods are safe?

5 Foods Genetically Modified Beyond Recognition

So in this list, I’ll be showing you 5 Foods That Have Been Genetically ModifiedBeyond Recognition
5) Carrots
Carrots have been around for thousands of years.
In fact, seeds dating back to 5,000 years have been discovered in Europe.
However, originally carrots looked a lot different.
They were small and white rather than very long and orange.
The carrots we have today are known as Western Carrots, however, some other carrots still exist which are most commonly called Eastern Carrots.
These carrots can be smaller in size and also even purple rather than orange.
4) Bananas
Bananas are believed to have been first cultivated around 7-10,000 years ago.
The long yellow bananas most people know are a result of centuries of careful breeding.
They descended from two wild banana species...

Number 10: Canola.
Developed through conventional plant breeding, Canola was developed by breeding rapeseed, which has been in use for millennia, and was even used as fuel by many ancient civilizations. The first Genetically Modified version was originally bred by University of Manitoba, Canada by Keith Downey and Baldur R. Stefansson during the 1970s. That strain was called Roundup Ready canola, developed to have a tolerance to glyphosate. This was done by introducing two genes, the first called Agrobacterium, which is a common soil bacterium, with a gene from Ochrobactiurm antroi strain LBAA… which honestly won’t mean much to most of us. Surprisingly, a whopping 90% of the U.S canola crop is genetically modified.
Number 9: Potatoes.
Nearly all of us will be familiar with the hardy potato that has been a stable part of diets for thousands of years, but did you know some strains have been genetically modified? The potato was first domesticated in modern-day southern Peru in between 8000 and 5000BCE. It was first introduced to Europe following the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire and since then it has been introduced to all corners of the world. An estimated 382 tons of potatoes were produced in 2014 with the People’s Republic of China producing the most at 95.5 million tons. In recent years genetic researchers have produced several genetically modified varieties of potatoes. The New Leaf potato was genetically modified to resist attacks from the Colorado potato beetle, but was unsuccessful in making a dent in the market so sales were discontinued in 2001.
In more recent years, the USDA approved a modified potato, the Innate potato, which contains genetic modifications that reduced or prevented bruising. Although these have gone into circulation, the Food and Water Watch petitioned McDonald’s, a major consumer of potatoes, to not use the new strain of potato. Thankfully, McDonald’s agreed. So if you eat McDonald’s fries, at least you don’t need to worry about consuming this particular GM food!
Number 8: Eggplant.
Eggplant, also known as aubergine, has been cultivated in southern and eastern Asia since prehistory. Strangely, the plant has also played a role in Italian and Egyptian folklore. In the13th centuryItaly and 19th centuryEgypt, the plant was liked to cause or increased levels of insanity amongst the populace. The genetically modified version of the eggplant is also known as Bt Brinjal, and was created by inserting crystal protein gene taken from bacterium Becillus thuringiensis to make it resistant to pests. It works by enabling the plant to produce a toxin that kills the worms that devastate crops. This strain of the eggplant is only cultivated in Bangladesh, but as it is only a recent phenomenon it is too early to judge its success.
Number 7: Papaya
Papaya is native to Mexico and northern South America, but has since been introduced to Florida, California, Hawaii and other tropical and subtropical regions like India. It turns out that only the female plants are used for cultivation, though, as the male plants provide poorer quality fruit. In 2014 India produce 44% of the world’s total estimated at 12.7 million tons – which is a lot of papaya. But it hasn’t been an easy ride for the plant. Papaya production was hit with a deadly virus that nearly wiped out the entire world crop. The virus, known as papaya ringspot, first hit the crop in Hawaii in the 1940s and within 50 years the virus had spread to nearly every area that grew the crop. Regardless of whether you agree with the GM food industry, if it wasn’t for the Hawaiian born scientist, Dennis Gonsalves, we wouldn’t be able to feast on the delicious fruit today.
His creation, known as the Rainbow papaya, was designed to be resistant to the virus, and has ensured a stable and sustainable income for the people of Hawaii and other places it’s grown. It clear that the genetically modified papaya has helped ensure its continued availability today. So…maybe not all GM foods are bad.

So in this list, I’ll be showing you 5 Foods That Have Been Genetically ModifiedBeyond Recognition
5) Carrots
Carrots have been around for thousands of years.
In fact, seeds dating back to 5,000 years have been discovered in Europe.
However, originally carrots looked a lot different.
They were small and white rather than very long and orange.
The carrots we have today are known as Western Carrots, however, some other carrots still exist which are most commonly called Eastern Carrots.
These carrots can be smaller in size and also even purple rather than orange.
4) Bananas
Bananas are believed to have been first cultivated around 7-10,000 years ago.
The long yellow bananas most people know are a result of centuries of careful breeding.
They descended from two wild banana species called Musa Acuminata and Musa Balbisiana.
These two banana species don't taste like bananas we have today.
In fact, one has lots of hard seeds in the middle.
However, thousands of years ago banana cultivators discovered that cross-pollinating these two plants produced a sweet, yellow seedless fruit that tasted really good.
This is how modern-day bananas were born.
3) Watermelons
Experts agree that watermelons originated somewhere in Africa and spread to the Mediterranean.
One of the watermelons earliest ancestors was first cultivated in Egypt around 4,000 years ago.
This watermelon was hard, bitter and pale green in colour however they did still contain lots of water.
It believed the watermelon was an excellent source of water for people especially during dry seasons and that's the reason they grew them.
It's also believed it was the Egyptians who began to selectively breed the sweetest and best watermelons over many years which led to the tasty sweet watermelon we have today.
2) Corn
Its believed corn is one of the first crops ever cultivated by humans around 10,000 years ago.
However at that time corn was a lot different to what we have today.
The earliest ancestor of corn that we know of is something called Teosinte.
This plant doesn't look anything like corn today but they did produce kernels which were a lot smaller.
However, on a genetic level, the plants are almost identical.
Over thousands of years of artificial selection, corn has changed massively in its appearance.
This was done by people selecting only the plants that produced the most kernels.
1) PeachesFossils of peaches have been discovered in China that date back over 2.5 million years.
However, these peaches would have been a lot smaller than today and resembled small cherries.
Once again through artificial selection the peaches that were the biggest, and contained the most flesh were chosen.
This led to the peach being much larger with lots of juicy edible flesh.
It's believed it only took about 3,000 years for the peach to turn from a small cherry-like fruit to what it is today.

Why are GMOs bad? They aren’t. They just aren’t, not intrinsically, and certainly not for your health. We’ve been eating them for decades with no ill effects, which makes sense, because a genetically modified organism is simply an organism, like every other organism, produces hundreds of thousands of proteins, but one or two of them are proteins that were chosen specifically by humans.

Other folks around the world are joining arms to refuse GMO foods, so why is the US not doing the same, you have to ask. Most folks in the US are not even aware of the dangers of Genetically Modified Foods. Europe eliminated GMOs from their food supply over 10 years ago.
It's been estimated that around 70 percent of all food items in our grocery stores contain GMO ingredients. For every 10 items that you're putting in your shopping cart, seven of them are dangerous for your health, because they contain GMO. Everyone needs to see this Alex Jones video. The more folks that become aware, the better we have a chance of stopping this, before it's too late.

GMO: 10 Foods you didn't know were Genetically Modified Organisms! Now, you most likely keep an eye on sugar contents and other unhealthy ingredients that you need to eat in moderation, but how many of you watch out for genetically modified foods? Most probably not many of you! For most this won’t be an issue, but if you live in the U.S., there’s a good chance that at least some of your food has been genetically modified. Stay tuned to number 1 to find out which item you thought would be completely natural…is actually genetically modified!

Number 10: Canola.
Developed through conventional plant breeding, Canola was developed by breeding rapeseed, which has been in use for millennia, and was even used as fuel by many ancient civilizations. The first Genetically Modified version was originally bred by University of Manitoba, Canada by Keith Downey and Baldur R. Stefansson during the 1970s. That strain was called Roundup Ready canola, developed to have a tolerance to glyphosate. This was done by introducing two genes, the first called Agrobacterium, which is a common soil bacterium, with a gene from Ochrobactiurm antroi strain LBAA… which honestly won’t mean much to most of us. Surprisingly, a whopping 90% of the U.S canola crop is genetically modified.
Number 9: Potatoes.
Nearly all of us will be familiar with the hardy potato that has been a stable part of diets for thousands of years, but did you know some strains have been genetically modified? The potato was first domesticated in modern-day southern Peru in between 8000 and 5000BCE. It was first introduced to Europe following the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire and since then it has been introduced to all corners of the world. An estimated 382 tons of potatoes were produced in 2014 with the People’s Republic of China producing the most at 95.5 million tons. In recent years genetic researchers have produced several genetically modified varieties of potatoes. The New Leaf potato was genetically modified to resist attacks from the Colorado potato beetle, but was unsuccessful in making a dent in the market so sales were discontinued in 2001.
In more recent years, the USDA approved a modified potato, the Innate potato, which contains genetic modifications that reduced or prevented bruising. Although these have gone into circulation, the Food and Water Watch petitioned McDonald’s, a major consumer of potatoes, to not use the new strain of potato. Thankfully, McDonald’s agreed. So if you eat McDonald’s fries, at least you don’t need to worry about consuming this particular GM food!
Number 8: Eggplant.
Eggplant, also known as aubergine, has been cultivated in southern and eastern Asia since prehistory. Strangely, the plant has also played a role in Italian and Egyptian folklore. In the13th centuryItaly and 19th centuryEgypt, the plant was liked to cause or increased levels of insanity amongst the populace. The genetically modified version of the eggplant is also known as Bt Brinjal, and was created by inserting crystal protein gene taken from bacterium Becillus thuringiensis to make it resistant to pests. It works by enabling the plant to produce a toxin that kills the worms that devastate crops. This strain of the eggplant is only cultivated in Bangladesh, but as it is only a recent phenomenon it is too early to judge its success.
Number 7: Papaya
Papaya is native to Mexico and northern South America, but has since been introduced to Florida, California, Hawaii and other tropical and subtropical regions like India. It turns out that only the female plants are used for cultivation, though, as the male plants provide poorer quality fruit. In 2014 India produce 44% of the world’s total estimated at 12.7 million tons – which is a lot of papaya. But it hasn’t been an easy ride for the plant. Papaya production was hit with a deadly virus that nearly wiped out the entire world crop. The virus, known as papaya ringspot, first hit the crop in Hawaii in the 1940s and within 50 years the virus had spread to nearly every area that grew the crop. Regardless of whether you agree with the GM food industry, if it wasn’t for the Hawaiian born scientist, Dennis Gonsalves, we wouldn’t be able to feast on the delicious fruit today.
His creation, known as the Rainbow papaya, was designed to be resistant to the virus, and has ensured a stable and sustainable income for the people of Hawaii and other places it’s grown. It clear that the genetically modified papaya has helped ensure its continued availability today. So…maybe not all GM foods are bad.

How Dangerous Are GM Foods?

Are GM Foods Killing Us?
Genetically Modified foods are disturbingly commonplace - and we don't always know when we're eating them. With so many dangerous side effects observed in GM foods, and with insufficient testing of the long-term impact of these artificial foods, can we be sure that GM foods are safe?

5 Foods Genetically Modified Beyond Recognition

So in this list, I’ll be showing you 5 Foods That Have Been Genetically ModifiedBeyond Recognition
5) Carrots
Carrots have been around for thousands of years.
In fact, seeds dating back to 5,000 years have been discovered in Europe.
However, originally carrots looked a lot different.
They were small and white rather than very long and orange.
The carrots we have today are known as Western Carrots, however, some other carrots still exist which are most commonly called Eastern Carrots.
These carrots can be smaller in size and also even purple rather than orange.
4) Bananas
Bananas are believed to have been first cultivated around 7-10,000 years ago.
The long yellow bananas most people know are a result of centuries of careful breeding.
They descended from two wild banana species called Musa Acuminata and Musa Balbisiana.
These two banana species don't taste like bananas we have today.
In fact, one has lots of hard seeds in the middle.
However, thousands of years ago banana cultivators discovered that cross-pollinating these two plants produced a sweet, yellow seedless fruit that tasted really good.
This is how modern-day bananas were born.
3) Watermelons
Experts agree that watermelons originated somewhere in Africa and spread to the Mediterranean.
One of the watermelons earliest ancestors was first cultivated in Egypt around 4,000 years ago.
This watermelon was hard, bitter and pale green in colour however they did still contain lots of water.
It believed the watermelon was an excellent source of water for people especially during dry seasons and that's the reason they grew them.
It's also believed it was the Egyptians who began to selectively breed the sweetest and best watermelons over many years which led to the tasty sweet watermelon we have today.
2) Corn
Its believed corn is one of the first crops ever cultivated by humans around 10,000 years ago.
However at that time corn was a lot different to what we have today.
The earliest ancestor of corn that we know of is something called Teosinte.
This plant doesn't look anything like corn today but they did produce kernels which were a lot smaller.
However, on a genetic level, the plants are almost identical.
Over thousands of years of artificial selection, corn has changed massively in its appearance.
This was done by people selecting only the plants that produced the most kernels.
1) PeachesFossils of peaches have been discovered in China that date back over 2.5 million years.
However, these peaches would have been a lot smaller than today and resembled small cherries.
Once again through artificial selection the peaches that were the biggest, and contained the most flesh were chosen.
This led to the peach being much larger with lots of juicy edible flesh.
It's believed it only took about 3,000 years for the peach to turn from a small cherry-like fruit to what it is today.

Why are GMOs Bad?

Why are GMOs bad? They aren’t. They just aren’t, not intrinsically, and certainly not for your health. We’ve been eating them for decades with no ill effects, which makes sense, because a genetically modified organism is simply an organism, like every other organism, produces hundreds of thousands of proteins, but one or two of them are proteins that were chosen specifically by humans.

Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) - Myths and Truths

The information is based on the new report "GMO Myths and Truths" by EarthOpenSource.org. You can find more information here: http://earthopensource.org/index.php/reports/58
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/09/27/genetically-engineered-foods-labeling.aspx?x_cid=youtube Watch out for the Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) myths and truths which provide educational materials concerning GM foods and health risks.

What is genetic modification?

The Royal Society has produced an animation to explain the basic science of GM, compared to conventional plant breeding.

Genetically Modified Food Dangers - Alex Jones

Other folks around the world are joining arms to refuse GMO foods, so why is the US not doing the same, you have to ask. Most folks in the US are not even aware of the dangers of Genetically Modified Foods. Europe eliminated GMOs from their food supply over 10 years ago.
It's been estimated that around 70 percent of all food items in our grocery stores contain GMO ingredients. For every 10 items that you're putting in your shopping cart, seven of them are dangerous for your health, because they contain GMO. Everyone needs to see this Alex Jones video. The more folks that become aware, the better we have a chance of stopping this, before it's too late.

Thanks to Alex Jones for posting this youtube video about Genetically Modified Food. Like Alex said, it's important that we all get the word out about GMO.

Genetically modified food

Genetically modified foods or GM foods, also genetically engineered foods, are foods produced from organisms that have had changes introduced into their DNA using the methods of genetic engineering. Genetic engineering techniques allow for the introduction of new traits as well as greater control over traits than previous methods such as selective breeding and mutation breeding.

Commercial sale of genetically modified foods began in 1994, when Calgene first marketed its unsuccessful Flavr Savr delayed-ripening tomato. Most food modifications have primarily focused on cash crops in high demand by farmers such as soybean, corn, canola, and cotton seed oil. Genetically modified crops have been engineered for resistance to pathogens and herbicides and for better nutrient profiles. GM livestock have been developed, although as of November 2013 none were on the market.

There is general scientific agreement that food from genetically modified crops is not inherently riskier to human health than conventional food, but should be tested on a case-by-case basis. However, there are ongoing public concerns related to food safety, regulation, labelling, environmental impact, research methods, and the fact that some GM seeds are subject to intellectual property rights owned by corporations.
